Details:
"exceptional...sounds like the unlikely offspring of those old-timey photo booths at the fair crossed with an original Nintendo. Just, y'know, in CD form." --Eugene Weekly, Jan. 2006

"The great new Salem band, Mill Race, have, as far as I'm aware of, already penned their own genre: sci-fi country. It's not nearly as heavy-handed as it sounds...the results are always spot on." --Portland Mercury, Feb. 2006
